My Turkish friend sent me a nice message and I want to reply to her in Turkish. So firstly, I'd welcome any suggestions of meaningful and appropriate things to say. For example, I can not really say "Merry Christmas", because she is a Muslim and doesn't celebrate it. She wouldn't mind me saying this, but I'd prefer to use phrases that have greater meaning to Turks.

Aside from that, I would like the following translated:

Thank you very much for your wishes and invaluable friendship. Your thoughts and presence in my life mean a great deal to me now, and forever into the future.

Tesekkur Ederim in advance to anyone that reads/translates this for me

on 21st of december the muslim world celebrates Kurban Bayram, so the one that will make the reply for your friend can introduce a wish for this religious holiday, i think ...

"iyi dileklerin ve pahabicilmez arkadasligin icin cok tesekkur ederim.Varliginin ve dusuncelerinin hayatimda cok onemli bir yeri var ve hep,sonsuza dek de oyle olacak."


Hi,this is the translation that you have wanted

Wonderful, Tesekkur Ederim to you both
